Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.31%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Cosmos Network Ethermint <= v0.4.0 is affected by a cross-chain transaction replay vulnerability in the EVM module. Since ethermint uses the same chainIDEpoch and signature schemes with ethereum for compatibility, a verified signature in ethereum is still valid in ethermint with the same msg content and chainIDEpoch, which enables "cross-chain transaction replay" attack.
